[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your company have a culture of success? Is everyone an executive? If there are janitors at your company that didn't finish high school, does that make it less likely that you can do your job well? What if your company hires secretaries, accountants, mail room staff, and cafeteria workers? I mean, if they work for the same company then don't they dilute your culture of success? Wouldn't it be better to work at a company that exclusively employs executives?

Remember, high schools have 500 or more kids per grade. To the kids sitting in AP physics, the motivations of kids on the lower end of the achievement gap are irrelevant. A school doesn't need ALL superstars any more than a company needs ALL executives.[/quote]

Valid point in high school as long as you have a strong cohort of high achievers to fill at least one section of AP

The problem is elementary school and even middle school in some cases when there is no tracking.  To continue your analogy would you want to staff an important strategy project with your top performers and janitors and secretaries?  Of course not the top performers wouldn't be able to be as effective having to deal with the dead weight.   [/quote]
